HOW'S MY DRIVING?

Comment with the names of the characters you play for feedback on your roleplaying. Other players will then reply to your comment telling you what they honestly think in a constructive manner. While both praise and critique is welcome, we'd like to remind you that this is a valuable tool for many of our members. We'd like to request that all comments remain constructive.

While the staff highly encourages everyone to participate, only comment if you are capable of giving and taking potentially harsh concrit in a mature, level-headed manner. Assume good faith at all times. Crit is meant to be resolved, not "won". Give mutual respect for each other's work and ideas. Aggressiveness creates unproductive stress and conflict. If you are emotionally compromised, you ~~are not fit to captain the Starship Enterprise~~ need to step back, take a break, and then return when you're ready.

Anonymous commenting is DISABLED, but sock journals are ALLOWED. If you would like to use a sock journal, you will have to request access to the comm first. If you want to receive anonymous crit anyways, please take advantage of the Private HMD thread (see below).

We have provided a form to post with, if you would like to use it. Mentioning things like canon points, permanent losses and recent major events in their lives in Paradisa may help give people a better idea of the character's mindset and current actions.

Alternatively, you may choose to post a link to your private HMD thread on the character's journal and take comments there instead. The first thread of this post will be reserved for those people, and we will freeze those comments. People will be expected to follow the link to the character's individual HMD to give crit there.

Fandom Name Here: Tohru Adachi -

foolreversed
Link to HMD: stickied near the top of his journal
Loss: memories of Ryotaro Dojima
Canon Point: post true end
Notes: going through a um... rough patch let's put it that way. Both him and me.
Specific Crit Requests: the usual "is he still sounding like him even with the development" yadda yadda

I know that you are very passionate about Adachi and that you know him inside and out and that he's also your "signature" character. I respect that. But at the same time, I can't help to think that you do tend to put him through a lot of, well, "bad stuff".

The most recent case in point is, of course, the murder "plot". Now I'm not giving away to what degree I have CR with Adachi and the wellness of the castle, but I have to say that it was a disappointment to see that none of it went anywhere. At all.

I know that half of the issue is (was?) also on Stick's end, but I'm not sure what exactly was stopping you from having him calling out or confronting his killer? I'm only wondering because the first concern I had mixed with this one might have a bit of a strain on future threading with you, in a meaningful sense.

I guess what I am trying to say here is to maybe consider the outcomes of what "darker" things you do with Adachi and what impact your CR might have from it all. Sorry if I'm coming off as accusatory as I know the most recent concern is likely a sore spot.

You're completely in the right to call me out on this anon.

I'm going to be really honest here: the murder thing was a huge disappointment to me too. Like... the kind of disappointment I'm inches away from dropping over (it's not the only thing, but it's a good spark). I've been trying to keep it under wraps and not get into detail about it, and I'd rather not talk about everything publicly. But I'm pretty upset that this isn't going to go anywhere and would almost rather retcon it, but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't fly and would just make people angrier.

I guess I will try to address what kept Adachi from calling Zelman out or confronting him. For starters, I never really had intention of Adachi telling the entire castle it was Zelman. That was something assumed of me, but I just couldn't see it as being all that IC, given his feelings on the castle's nonexistent "justice system" and the fact he'd rather outright kill Zelman himself. Which he tried to actually! I really wanted him to go after him with Magatsu Izanagi and try to be more like he is during the end game, because I never get to play that out. But sadly, my living situation at the time basically meant I couldn't really log it out with Stick, so we ended up handwaving it until we had a better time to do it. But now I'm not so sure if it's even worth doing or not.

I would have had Adachi tell someone, either accidentally or intentionally (because he is a HUGE blabbermouth and it would have made way more sense to me ICly, and been more interesting thread if he accidentally let something loose like "fuck that vampire bastard" while being talked to about it) but... literally no one's asked Adachi about it. No one. I get that his post was really hurt and stubborn and probably off putting but... yeah literally no one has ever asked him about it. I think the most meaningful conversation he ended up having about the whole thing was with Jane. And I really don't know like... what I'm supposed to do right now? Like I know I should plot with someone about it but my living situation put me at such a disadvantage for a while and now because idk if Stick is leaving or not is there... even a point in me trying to seek people out to bring a resolution? Is it too late now?

And idk a lot is bringing a lot of other worries and insecurities to mind and it really makes me wonder if I should still even be here, idk it really sucks and I don't want to come off whiny but it.... yeah it really sucks. :(

But anyway I'm very sorry if it's causing a bit of a strain on threading with me anon. I'm definitely thinking through anymore dark shit I do with him because he's... yeah he's pretty fucked right now, I'm not going to lie.
